Medical University of South Carolina

What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Medical University of South Carolina?

MUSC reports around-the-clock patrols by trained security personnel, emergency telephone or alarm devices, and a late-night transport or escort service. As an urban campus with clinical facilities, it also requires students to distinguish academic-building access from access to hospitals and other health-system sites.

Students should learn the current emergency-notification and incident-reporting procedures during orientation and confirm where to request an escort or report an urgent concern. MUSC's published annual security report is the appropriate place to check its stated safety policies and federally reported campus crime statistics. Those statistics cover defined locations and reporting periods; they are not a complete measure of an individual's safety.

Students seeking help with sexual misconduct or harassment should use the university's current Title IX reporting and support information, which explains reporting routes and available measures. In an immediate emergency, students should use emergency services rather than an ordinary administrative contact.
